Section 406(a)(1) of the Act created an
annual tariff rate quota providing for
temporary reductions through December

applications for an allocation of the
2008 tariff rate quotas with a closing
date of November 21, 2007. The
Department received timely
applications from 5 firms. All applicants
were determined eligible for an

data on a business confidential basis. As
allocations to firms were determined on
the basis of this data, the Department
considers individual firm allocations to
be business confidential.
